[governance] Japan's Internet largely intact after earthquake, tsunami

[Parkop Kisokau]

The effects of the quake, in terms of human loss and economic damage, are
expected to be huge. The quake also disrupted electricity supplies and
knocked two nuclear power plants out of
commission<http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9214278/Rolling_blackouts_tsunami_damage_try_Japanese_companies>.
One reason Internet connectivity appeared to fare better could be that
undersea cables remained relatively untouched by the quake, unlike in 2006
when an earthquake in Taiwan resulted in a large number of major cable
breaks, Cowie said.
